The 2008 R8. Pure exhilarance.
December 23rd, 2006rs6 sent me a link to this guy’s album, where a few pictures of the 2008 Audi R8 reside. This beauty was apparently waiting for the press kit shoot in Beverly Hills, CA.
For the uninitiated, the R8 is a road car that will be launched in 2007, and shares its name with the famous Audi R8 race car that won the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2005 (Audi took 3rd place in 2003, when the Bentley Speed 8 broke the R8’s six consecutive win streak).
The Audi R8 will be available in mid-2007 with a 4.2 L V8 making 420 hp, as seen in the Audi RS4. Pricing for the 420 bhp model starts from $140,000 USD. A 520 hp version is rumored to be in the making, although Audi has not yet confirmed this.
